I think we're both right Mr. Charette, only further exemplifying the crytic nature of this operating system.
To wit:
I referred to the "ls" command in the original reference for listing files. Dash lower case "r" reverses said listing.
You refer to the rm command in the original reference for removing files. In this command, as you correctly point out, dash lower case "r" recursively removes all files and subdirectories.
Of course if you want to list (as opposed to remove) files in all subdirectories (he says sarcsastically, because there's a bit of lack of conformity in Unix commands) that's the dash upper case R "-R" option in the "ls" command.
(I think I just heard a couple of clarinetists say "nerds," under their breath)
Ken: At least for me, this is textbook Liszt Effect : - )
